Played the game for a couple of hours. Its good so far. I have so many things to do. Don't want to move to another map location when I cant find so many items and side quests around.
Patch made the game worse. Lots of screen tearing and stutters.
Xbox Series X in Balanced Mode renders at a native resolution of 2304x1296. The game appears to be using nearest neighbour scaling to upscale the image and this results in uneven pixel scaling.
Generally speaking, stutter is defined as spikes above 2x the target frame time. Frame time dips between and up to 2x the target frame time is categorized as judder
That's right, judder isn't desirable either, but more tolerable than micro-pauses (aka stutter) and can be mitigated on Chandoo's Series X + VRR display
VGTech ran into so much tearing, NXGamer video is out he says Balanced mode 100% locked on Series X with minimal tearing only in stress areas also with better effects than the base Performance mode.
